Dramatic SFB: Organian Treaty Colony #1952

[Charles Carroll]

And now for turn two...Went about as I expected...with a few snags on both
our parts. In general...we stayed at range...I had my WER stop...tac a
couple times...then go to 10...and start heading right at him...launched an
R at his DN...and my fighters launched 4 Fs from about 10...he turned
off...but not before leaving me a lot of QWTs...the ones he still had on
the board all died. Except for 4 that managed to hit my SKA Agustus in the
face. for 8 and 2 to either side. We skirted around each other...and he
launched another ton of QWTs...my fighters...launched a few Ds...after two
fo them were crippled cause I forgot to launch at range 8. So 2 Ds went his
way. And they ended up going my way...he thought everything was heading for
his DN...turns out the Ds were heading for his CL and hit #3...for
16...taking it down. My R chased him forever...and the Fs petered out. He
shot the R up pretty good...and I slipped behind him so he wouldnt learn if
it was real or memorex. His QWTs obliterated all but two of my fighters due
to a targeting error on his weapons officers part.

I ended up with most of my ships closing fast on the planet...and his about
16 out...I had a slightly dented front shield on a frigate...him with a
down shield on a CL. So down 6 fighters the last two got picked up on imp
32. Dang it have to redo some paint on Agustus.

We called it for the night so he could consider his options. He suggested
he was leaning toward disengagement since I was very near the planet...have
8 NSMs...and can ring the planet before he gets near enough to make me
leave...assuming he can since I have all my torps...or maybe one down.

Guess we will see if he decides to lose some ships.

Chuck...Admiral of Remus Ascendant.
